Second Annual Theodore Robinson Plein Air Painting Competition Welcome to the Second Annual Theodore Robinson Plein Air Competition presented by Eager Free Public Library, The Theodore Robinson Society and The Evansville Community Partnership. En plein air is a French phrase which means “in plain air”, outside – not in the studio; from nature – not from photographs; to capture natural light and shadow as it varies in the elements, including effects of color, light, and atmosphere. The residents of Evansville look forward to seeing artists working in and about our community. Visit Historic Evansville to paint “en plein air” from June 14 through June 23, with cash prizes being awarded the afternoon of June 23 at 1:30 pm.
Eligibility Open to all artists 18 years and older. Entry Form and Fee ($35) The 2013 Theodore Robinson Plein Air Competition application process will be open from now through June 22, 2013. Please note that the 2013 Theodore Robinson Plein Air will run from June 14 to 23, 2013.
